The day after the November 2016 election, liberal pundits re-assured Democrats that, while they may feel miserable at the moment, that melancholy was temporary. Research has consistently shown that, following an unwelcome shock, most people rapidly return to their baseline level of happiness.
Confirming that truism, in 2012, disappointed Mitt Romney voters bounced back quite quickly. But in this realm, as in so many others, it turns out the Donald Trump era is different.
A new study reports Americans who voted for Hillary Clinton suffered a substantial dip in happiness that persisted for at least six months after the election.
(snip)
Not surprisingly, self-reported happiness plunged among Clinton supporters the week of the election. But the scale of the decline was, to use a Trumpian term, "yuge."
Lench and her colleagues note that, in a famous 1978 study, "people who had become quadriplegic within the last year reported lower happiness than controls and lottery winners by a difference of about 17 percent on their scale."
In comparison, "Clinton supporters reported about a 24 percent decrease in happiness during the week after the election on the scale in the present investigation."
For them, losing to Trump was the equivalent of losing use of their arms and legs—and then some.

When they win, we are disappointed in the complete idiocy of the American Voter, pray for the survival of our Republic and go back to living our lives in boundaries of the new Leftist Utopia.
When the opposite happens, the Leftists expose themselves for the Tyrannical Despots they truly are.
I feel zero empathy for the left. They forced a fraud on us from 2009-2017 which harmed this country gravely and in many ways; permanently.
If some hardcore leftists are still suffering because they can accept losing; I have no problem with their suffering at all.
“Can’t” accept losing. One day we will be able to correct our posts.
The Clinton election night “victory” party looked like the largest gathering ever of people who could not change a tire.
Lol!!
Especially two: The Famous Acerbic Female Twiggy Blonde Conservative who when asked "Which Republican candidate has the best chance of winning the General Election?" (by Bill Maher responds without hesitation: "Of the declared ones, right now...Donald Trump!" followed by hoots of derision from the audience and the rest of the panel...:)
And the scummy POS who when reading a tweet from Donald Trump that says "President Obama will go down as perhaps the worst President in the history of the United States." answers "Well, @RealDonaldTrump...at least I will go down as a President." after which he drops the mike and stares belligerently into the camera.
You just cannot enjoy two video clips more than those two!
Of course, this one is REALLY good too: Still the Best Election Night Compilation Video of All Time."
These are all media, though. Does anyone have a link to specific video of the rank-and-file losers who have tears running down their sad faces? I comb through a lot, but am looking for really good ones to save time!
“For them, losing to Trump was the equivalent of losing use of their arms and legs—and then some.”
No big deal. They all lost the use of their brains quite some time ago.
It never gets old.
Always brings a smile to my face.
I like what someone else posted recently...
What’s the difference between Hillary and Putin?
Putin, in an election rigged for him to win, actually won.
Dumbass Hillary supporters can be very thankful for velcro as they would be unable to tie their shoes without help.
